Google Sky Presentation at Harvard in Emerson Hall, 4/9, 8 p
Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics is sponsoring a talk about Google Sky on Wednesday, April 9, at 8 pm in Room 105 of Emerson Hall at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
“Wednesday, April 9, 8:00 pm: ‘Inside Google Sky,’ Emerson Hall, Room 105, Harvard University
In August 2007, Google launched ‘Sky in Google Earth,’ the first application to provide a seamless view of the night sky using images from the largest photographic surveys. Google Sky provides users with a framework to communicate and share ideas about astronomy. Like Google Earth, Sky is a dynamic environment, combining new imagery and features that can be tailored to different needs. In this talk, Andrew Connolly of the Google Sky team will discuss how Sky came about and the technologies it uses for sharing information between people distributed around the world. He also will demonstrate some of the latest additions and features that have been developed by a growing Google Sky community. NOTE: This event takes place at Harvard University’s Emerson Hall, Room 105. Event parking is available in the Broadway Street Garage.”
